Films are made and owned by the channels named, and play from YouTube. Inclusion here is not an endorsement either way.
The rule
- No one's face, voice or performance is scanned, cloned or changed without their informed, written agreement.
- Informed means they know what will be made, how it will be used, for how long, and what they're paid for it.
- This covers cast, background artists, crew and members of the public.
What this looks like on set
- Scans and voice recordings for digital use are booked and agreed through the production, with paperwork.
- Don't record anyone's voice or face to 'try something' in an AI tool, even as a joke.
- If you're asked to, say no politely and tell your head of department.

- Our consent and credit page, and the unions: Equity for performers, Bectu for crew, the Writers' Guild for writers.

Do
What would you say? · 10 minutes
Write what you'd say, in your own words, to the crew member who asked you to record the actor's voice.
How it's marked
- Says no clearly and politely
- Gives the reason (consent)
- Says they'll tell, or suggests telling, the head of department
Met or Not yet, with a comment from a trained reviewer. Until accounts open, open the model answer after you submit and mark your own work against it.
Model answer (open after you submit)
'I can't, sorry. Using someone's voice needs their proper written consent through the production. If it's for the show, it should go through the producer. I'll mention it to my HoD so they know.'

This is everything kept about this lesson. In the pilot it's held by Futures in Film CIC in your account; Screen Sisters CIC sees named records only if you agree. Your data
Moving on doesn't complete a lesson. A lesson is complete when the films are watched, the check is passed and the task is marked Met.
